Pricing
Casino game costs on a Princess cruise ship are not fixed and can vary. The prices are influenced by the specific ship, the time of day, and the itinerary.
Attire
Smart casual attire is generally recommended for Grand Casino. While casual clothing is acceptable during the day, evening attire should be a step up, and bathing suits or tank tops are not permitted.
How to reserve
While you cannot pre-purchase casino credits, some guests who are part of the Princess Players Club may receive "free play" credit as part of a casino offer, which is automatically loaded to their Medallion.
How to purchase
You can play with cash directly at the tables or by inserting it into a slot machine. The most common and recommended method is to use your Medallion® device to charge funds to your stateroom account. For slot machines, you simply tap your Medallion on the machine to set up a casino account and transfer funds. For table games, you present your Medallion to the dealer or pit boss to receive chips, which are then charged to your stateroom folio.
Age restrictions
The age policy for the casino on a Celebrity cruise ship is that you must be at least 18 years old to gamble. This includes all gaming activities like table games and slot machines. However, there is one major exception: on all Alaska itineraries, the minimum age to gamble in the casino is 21 years old. Additionally, minors are not permitted to loiter or be left unattended in the casino at any time.
